the EMPIRE IN PEACE.

The Emperor William has again
assured the German Reichstag that
the empire is peace. The Reichstag
is, nevertheless, expected to vote
for the proposed increase of the
army. Armed at all points, with an
army rs large as if a state of war
actually existed, it is expected that
peace will be preserved. Meantime
bills will be presented to the Reich
stag creating new sources of reve-
nue., which is, of course, another
term for new and heavier taxes.
The only thing that is certain about
European politics is that this sort
of thing cannot long continue.
There is not country in Europe,
except possibly Great Britain, that
is living on its revenue. Not only
are new sources of revenue constant
ly created, but new loans are effect
ed to meet deficiencies. The inter-
est on public debts is not only con.
Stunning large portion of current
revenues, but it is charge that is
steadily increasing. European
statesmen blunder along, imagining
themselves great because their dip
lomacy puts off the day of reckon
ing. Nearly all the present public
burdens are the creation of the last
century, and their magnitude issuch
that taxes are imposed beyond the
ability Of the people to pay. An
end to this reckless policy must
soon become visible,-TS Il. Call.

TEXAS LAND SPECULATION.

Senator Charles V. Farewell says
that he thinks he and his partners,
his brothers and Abner Taylor of
Chicago, will make from SIS, OOO,-
900 to $20,000,000 in their Texas
land speculation. 1t is almost in con-
ceivable that any State should be
so destitute of foresight and bust
ness sense as TO give any such con-
tract as the one owned by the Far
well Company. 10 build certain
buildings at the State capital this
State has given to the Farwell
Company 100000 acres of the
best land in Texas. 1t is not posi-
BILE that the State buildings could
have cost more than $1,000, 900,
while the land to-day is worth at
least S. an acre. 1t is all fenced
in. Seventy-tive thousand cattle
are now on it, and more are to fol-
low. 1t comprises enough territory
for principality. The Farwell
Company have their headquarters in
London. English capitalists own
about one-quarter of. the stock.
This great and successful venture
was brought to the Farwlls by an
impecunious and visionary man,
who obtained the contract which he
sold 10 the Farwell Company. The
man happened to be in Austin, and
hearing that the State was Offering

SWiNDLERS ARRESTED.

New York, March 4.--Inspector
Byrnes' men, in conjunction with
the postoflice inspectors, to-day ar
rested George Frederick Parker,
president, and II. w. Witherell,
secretary, of the British American
claim agency, with Office on Broad
way, under indictments for using
the mails for fraudulent purposes,
and for violating state laws as WELL
The alleged swindle is the old one
OF ferreting out supposed claims Of
heirs TO vast estates in Great Bril-
tain, and to sections of 100000 or
so lying unclaimed in the bank Of
England. They made their BUSH
ness widely known and soon found
plenty of bites from fish they were
angling for. Both are Englishmen,
and Parker is alleged to be a ticket
of-leaveman, who came here from
Australia by way of California.
There are various preliminary
charges, ranging from fifty cents
upward, and aggregating in the
neighborhood of twenty five for each
expectant heir. The cashbooks

The CAY AND FESTIVE BOARD.

Two gentlemen who reside in the
wilds of Koolau, came over to town
last Saturday, and as is their wont
on such occasions, they invited q
few friends to join them at the gay
and festive board. About a dozen
parties responded, and a right jolly
evening was spent, the restaurateur,
Mr.. Barber, spreading himself on
the occasion and succeeded in plac-
ing before the guests meal that
they thoroughly enjoyed and which
reflected credit on the caterer. After
the edibles had been thoroughly dis
cussed there were musicians in at
tendance to supply the needed
music. The party sat it out, and
retired with feeling Of content
ment. Aloha to the gentlemen Of
KoOlau.

taxation of course never dreamed
OF questioning the contractors abb

vincing the Farwells of the value
of the land, owing to their distrust
of the visionary contractors judg-
ment, but investigation showed the
value, and so the contract was pur-
chased for q few thousand dollars,
gaining property which will net
its owners many Millions N. Y.
